The Fishman Platinum Stage EQ/DI is a compact preamp and direct box designed for guitarists and bassists who need professional-grade tone shaping in a pedalboard-friendly format. This versatile unit features an analog preamp with a high-impedance ¼-inch input and adjustable gain (-6dB to 14dB) to work seamlessly with virtually any pickup type. Power it your way with a choice between a 9V battery, optional AC adapter, or 48V phantom power from your mixing board. The rugged aluminum chassis withstands the rigours of touring, while the integrated belt-clip keeps it within arm's reach during live performances. A dedicated Guitar/Bass switch lets you toggle between two precisely voiced EQ curves, optimising your signal for instruments with different frequency characteristics. Whether you're running direct to a PA system, recording interface, or amplifier, the Platinum Stage delivers transparent amplification and tonal control in a format that fits most instrument cases. Comes with the original Box.
